AT a meeting of G. A. r. Post, No.
30, held in this city Saturday evening,
the following ringing resolutions were
adopted with but two dissenting votes:
Whereas, The loyal people of the
Nation, when treason's cohorts were
striking at the Nations heart, gave
the lives of half million of the chOic-
est of her SONS to preserve our National
Union and crush out treason and estab-
lish the Union upon the firm basis of
one country and one flag; and
Whereas, The flags of the enemies
of our common country, covered with
the blood of the Nations loyal sons,
were wrenched from the hands of
treason on a thousand hard-fought
fields, and by the victorious host de-
posted in the archives of the nation as
trophies of victory and as warning to
the rising generation that the penalty
for treason shall be death; and
Whereas, the President of the
United States without authority of law
and in utter disregard of the feelings of
the loyal people and of the
surviving soldiers of the Union and
or reverence for the honored dead, re-
Gently issued an order for the return of
captured rebel flags to their disloyal
owners. Now therefore,
Resolved, that it is the sense of this
Post that the action of the President of
the United States in this behalf is a
disgrace to the nation, moral
treason to the state, and placing him
beyond the domain of decent respect
of all true patriots, and justifying the
soldiers of the Union in ranking him
with the enemies of his country.
Resolved, That this Post tender its
thanks to, and our admiration of our
loyal Governor in his prompt protest
to the diSgraceful acts of Grover Cleve-
land

REBEL FLAGS.

Democratic papers north and south
are reproducing the following tele-
grams in reference to a propose return
of rebel standard to those from
whom it was captured, and then
drawing comparisons between these
Ohio soldiers and Cleveland.
NEW ORLEANS, La, June I9.-For
some months correspondence has been
in progress between Mr.. Isma II. Ma
lick, of Van Vert, Ohio, a veteran of
the 46th Ohio regiment, on one side
and committee of survivors of the
in regard to confederate flag which
had belonged to Louisiana
regiment. The correspondence opened
with the following:
VAN VERT, o., April %, ISS7.-To
the Adjutant General of Louisiana,
New Orleans: The 18th Ohio Infantry
Regiment captured the flag of the 30th
Louisiana on the 2Sth day of July, 1854
in front of Atlanta, and at the reunion
of the 46th Ohio this fall we wish to re-
turn this flag provided the State author
tiles of Ohio viii grant it,, and we want,
at least, to have some of the Both
Louisiana to be present. My object is
to find some of the members of said
regiment. If you will kindly give me
any information you may haye, you will
confer a favor. Said reunion is to be
held at this place some time in August.
Respectfully, 1. II. MALICK,
Corresponding Secretary of association.
Gen. Beauregard being the Adjutant
General of the State, the letter went
to him and he referred it to the Ben
evolent Association of the Army of
Tennessee. The survivors of the 30th
Louisiana Regiment belong to that as
ISOLATION, and meeting was called of
them. The survivors of the S0th in
structed committee composed of Capt.
N. Trepangier, the President of the
organization; Col. G. A. Breaux, the
veteran commander of the regiment,
and others, to act for the organization
in the matter, and make such response
as they deemed proper. That reply
was mailed fortnight since. 1t was
as follows:

NAYAL FLAGs MTssING.

Taken in connection with the recent
order issued by Cleveland, the follow
ing dispatch from Washington is very
significant:
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 20.-Pub-
lie attention having been directed to
the captured flags in the custody of the
war department, there has been some
inquiry concerning the disposal of the
flags captured during the rebellion by
the United States navy. The proposed
return of the banners captured in the
field naturally suggest surrender of
those taken on water, and Sec
rotary Whitney was called upon
to-day for some information
as to their whereabouts. The demo-
cratic secretary of the navy was rather
nonplussed by such an inquiry, and,
after considering awhile, he confessed
that he knew nothing about them. He
added, however, with smile, that one
thing was certain, he had given no or
/ ders for their return to their former
owners. The question propounded to
| the secretary was then asked in success
sion of each of the bureau officers in the
navy department, until the astounding
fact was developed that no one on
duty there at present had the slight
| est idea of their WhereabOut. 1t was
1
rebel naval flags might be in the Naval
academy at Annapolis, but Mr.. Polly
of the navy department., in charge OF
/ the war records of the navy, who has
written history of the Naval acade
my, states positively that they were
not at Annapolis. The flags there, he
said, were those captured during the
revolution and the war of 1872, but tt
his knowledge there were Nc
rebel colors. This is strange discov
cry and a most embarrassing one fol
all concerned, and when the awkward
ness of the situation was finally real
lied the only idea that occurred to thu
democratic officials was that probably
some of the republican ex-secretariei
might know where the flags were stored
The law of 1914 for the preservation
and exhibition of captured flags is thu
same for the navy as for the war de
partment, and there is considerable
CONSERVATION in official circles at thu
new complication given the affair b.
the inquiries set on foot to-day.

From the New York Tribune.1
Not a Drum was heard, not q poor, shrtlI
AS the back track was taken by Grover.
Not Bourbon but looked uncommon1y GUM,
At the days which they couldn't recover.
He took the back track OF Thursday night,
A penftcnt letter preparing,
By the beams of the blazing Northern light
And Daniel softly swearing!
An angry growl from the president stole,
And he seemed to the calm beholder,
Like a man that had put his foot in 9 hole.
Clear up TO the blade OF his shoulder.
Formal and cold his epistle ran
He exhibited little detection
But steadfastly gazed on the face of Dan,
And thought of next years election!
He thought as he finished and signed his name,
And read his rescindment over,
That the boys in blue would tread down his
And make it quite lively for Grover.
Proudly they'll talk of his copperhead style,
And curse him both frequent and hearty,
Yet little he'll reck, retaining the smile
OF the fine old Bourbon party!
But half of his heavy task was DER,
When the news from the country reached
him,
And he knew as he read how the veterans
That each loyal heart impeached him.
Slowly and sadly he bit his thumb,
On his brow was a cloudlet of thunder
He spoke not TO Dan, he beat not q Drum,
And they left him alone with his blunder.

SUMNER AND BATTLE FLAGS

SUMNER AND BATTLE FLAGS
A correspondent in the Republican
of Sunday morning states that
The loyalty of the late Charles Sum-
ner was never questioned, and yet he
objected to the names of the victorious
battles at which the various northern
regiments had been present during the
late civil war, being emblaZoned on
their flags, upon the ground that twas
improper and ungenerous to perpet-
uate mementoes which could not but
be humiliating to the brethren with
whom they have become reunited.
He then goes on to make a COMPARE
son between this statement and Cleve-
lands late action regarding rebel flags.
The argument used, as usual, is on a
par with most statements made in de-
Tense of an action, which, to say the
least, was cowardly, inasmuch as it i'll
becomes person or party who has had
no part as a combatant on either side
to take the spoils, fairly won by the
victor, and return them to the van
pushed. Had the transfer been pro-
posed even by Gen. Grant during his
administration it would undoubtedly
have met with great opposition. But
to be done by man of the character OF
Cleveland is adding insult to injury.
AS for the statement regarding Sum-
ner, it is untrue. Sumner never OBJ
jected to anything on northern bat
tie flags. What he referred to in his
resolution introduced in congress was
the standards carried by the regiments
in the regular army, which regiments
can with no propriety be called north
ern" regiments, as they are composed
of recruits from all sections of the
United States, and the sons of the
south, as well as tho north, are gal
Iantly represented in their ranks. And
should war ever be declared against u
by foreign foe, both sections would
undoubtedly vie with each other in fol
lowing these flags to victory or death
This being so, it would be manifestiy
ungenerous to ask men to follow flag
emblazoned with victorious names
commemorative of our great civil war
which would indicate only one side o
the question, and might possibly b
misconstrued into an insult to SONS o
fathers who had been unfortunate
enough to have fought on the wronl
side.
In speaking of this point at the tim
the resolution was introduced, Can
Schurtz referred to the German union
when the sons of Bavaria fought sid
by side with their ancient foes, tn
Prussians, under the same standar
they had so long opposed, and fror
which similar emblazonry had bee
erased after the union had been effected
But in this whole matter Clevelan
and his friends have been attemptin
to make political capital, and in the al
tempt have found that the battle flag
as weapons have proved boomerang
and have returned with great force o
the heads of those who attempted t
use them.

COFFEE.

The strongest beverage INDUCED in
by many Kansans having taken such
a rise in price as puts it almost on a
par with prohibited beverages, any
thing relative to the causes of the great
increase in cost is in order. The fol-
lowing from the Kansas City Journal
throws faint glimer of light on the
subject:
Whether or not the price of coffee
will soon get back to and remain at a
reasonable figure one thing is certain,
and that is that the reports of a short
crop, which bulled the market, were
absolutely false, and the collapse of the
coffee corner was due merely to the
publication of the true facts. Nearly
two-thirds of our coffee supply in this
country, over half of all the coffee
raised in the world. comes from Brazil.
Reports OF short crop in Brazil,
which appeared to be at ali we'll found
ed, would, therefore, be sure to have a
marked effect upon the coffee market.
And such reports were diligent-
ly circulated by a syndicate COM
posed of about twenty men,
who had their agents in Rio Janeiro,
Havre and other important points, for
manipulating the market. Reports of
Rio JaneirO early in the present year,
and they were followed up by other re-
ports confirming the first, and predict
| ing not more than half a crOp The
usual crop is from G, 000, 900 to $500, 600
bags, and it was reported that the crop
this year would not be more than ,00O,-
600 bags.
Apparently, it is hard to get informa-
ton from Brazil concerning her crops.
The Brazilian government does not
| compile anvthing like complete crop
| statistics, and inf. iii.istion traYt Is
| slowly from the coffee plantations of
the interior.
So the agents in Rio Janeiro, with
| their instructions to send discouraging
reports of the crop, had their own way
and lied with great regularity and
| without contradiction for some months.
In June, 1886, the price of coffee was
100 cents per pound. In June 1887,
| it was % and % cents, nearly three
times the price of twelve months ago.
| Between February 1st and June 1st,
| 1887, coffee advanced from ID to %
cents. 1t was reasonably certain about
| this time that the false reports concern
ing the Brazil crop would ere long be
| disproved, and the men who had first
begun to manipulate the corner closed
| out and retired with a cool SIS 900 600.
But a second lot held on and were
nipped. The truth became known in
regard to the Brazil crop, and the truth
is that it is a large one. For the crop
year of 1SS6-87 it will probably not fall
far short of $500, 600 bags, considera-
bly, larger than the crop for 1856. So
the predicted scarcity of coffee will not
occur this year.

THAT Inc right of suffrage is sup
pressed in the south as vigorously as
ever is shown by the fact that the
democrats of the Florida legislature
on the third day of June, passed an
election law which places in the hands
of the governor-a democrat-the full
control of the election machinery, by
giving him the power to appoint the
supervisors, whose prerogative it virtu-
ally is to say who shall and who shall
not vote. This makes Florida solidly
democratic, by practically disfranchis-
ing every colored as well as white re-
publican. 1t looks as if John Sherman
hardly put it strong enough in his
Springfield speech.

A WASHINGTON special says: The
late vice president Wheeler was the
best presiding officer the senate ever
had. There was a terrible scene once
between two senators during a session.
Mr.. Wheeler was not in the chair. He
reached it, however, shortly after, and
as the discussion arose again he raped
on the desk with the gavel, and in a
quiet but firm tone said: 1.-THE sena-
tor will take his seat" The man who
was using the hard words looked up
with surprise. 1.-The senator will take
his seat" repeated Wheeler. Still the
offender stood. looking as if he did not
know what was the trouble. Then the
gavel came down with another thump,
and in voice which penetrated every
crack of the chamber, Mr.. Wheeler re-
peated: 1.-The chair commands the
senator to take his seatl" and the SEN
ator sat down. Then in his usual tone
of voice he remarked: ''As long as the
present occupant is in the chair there
will be order in the senate. The sena-
tor may proceed if he will proceed in
order. If he will not do so the chair
will not permit him to retain the floor.
The senator may proceed" There was
decided sensation. for the senator
who was thus attacked was considered
the biggest man in the body, manAof
whom it was said that Wheeler was
afraid. But he never mounted his high
horse again when the vice president vas
in the chair.
